More quotes by Plutarch
Words will build no walls.
Plutarch

Plutarch
It does not follow, that because a particular work of art succeeds in charming us, its creator also deserves our admiration.
Plutarch
When one told Plistarchus that a notorious railer spoke well of him, I'll lay my life, said he, somebody hath told him I am dead, for he can speak well of no man living.'
Plutarch
He (Cato) used to say that in all his life he never repented but of three things. The first was that he had trusted a woman with a secret the second that he had gone by sea when he might have gone by land and the third, that had passed one day without having a will by him.
Plutarch

Plutarch
The worship most acceptable to God comes from a thankful and cheerful heart.
Plutarch
It is no great wonder if in long process of time, while fortune takes her course hither and thither, numerous coincidences should spontaneously occur. If the number and variety of subjects to be wrought upon be infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, with such an abundance of material, to effect this similarity of results.
Plutarch
Vos vestros servate, meos mihi linquite mores You keep to your own ways, and leave mine to me
Plutarch
He who owns a hundred sheep must fight with fifty wolves
Plutarch
Scilurus on his death-bed, being about to leave four-score sons surviving, offered a bundle of darts to each of them, and bade them break them. When all refused, drawing out one by one, he easily broke them, thus teaching them that if they held together, they would continue strong but if they fell out and were divided, they would become weak.
Plutarch
It is a thing of no great difficulty to raise objections against another man's oration, it is a very easy matter but to produce a better in it's place is a work extremely troublesome.
Plutarch
The richest soil, if uncultivated, produces the rankest weeds.
Plutarch
Beauty is the flower of virtue.
Plutarch
Gout is not relieved by a fine shoe nor a hangnail by a costly ring nor migraine by a tiara.
Plutarch
Good fortune will elevate even petty minds, and give them the appearance of a certain greatness and stateliness, as from their high place they look down upon the world but the truly noble and resolved spirit raises itself, and becomes more conspicuous in times of disaster and ill fortune.
Plutarch
He is a fool who leaves things close at hand to follow what is out of reach.
Plutarch
It is a high distinction for a homely woman to be loved for her character rather than for beauty.
Plutarch
Anaximander says that men were first produced in fishes, and when they were grown up and able to help themselves were thrown up, and so lived upon the land.
Plutarch
Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.
Plutarch
